Case Study: A&C Mold consolidates manufacturing storage and boosts VMware performance with iXsystems TrueNAS

A&C Mold consolidates storage for 250 devices with iXsystems

A&C Mold, a manufacturing company specializing in injection molding, faced a storage challenge due to aging direct-attached storage and workstations. They needed a scalable, long-term solution that could support various machining equipment and serve as a central data repository without exceeding their budget. After testing the open-source option, they turned to vendor iXsystems for a fully supported enterprise solution using TrueNAS.

iXsystems implemented a TrueNAS storage array with TrueCache hybrid technology, configured for a balance of redundancy and performance. The solution consolidated A&C Mold's data, providing near all-flash performance for their VMware environment and 250 network devices. The results included reliable storage for their virtualized production floor and cost-effective nightly backups. The vendor iXsystems provided a scalable platform with integrated support, ensuring the company's data is safe and secure.
